LEE IS HAVING Restless Sout,

..sure he's fast asleep, but that won't stop him
taking one of his nocturnal journeys! Fortunately,
our sleepwalker has a courageous canine companion —
who will try his utmost to protect his master from
coming to any harm - Lee's faithful mutt, Ralph.
Lee's four legged friend is zapped, bashed,
clobbered, pummeled, singed and squashed, but
nothing will stop him from performing his dedicate
duty, (although the odd fire hydrant may distrac
him)... it's all par for the course of a night erran
These midnight meanderings take him to the mo:
hazardous of places... the creepy graveyard, t!
gooky zoo, precarious construction sites and the
traffic strewn city streets, but Lee's loyal rover
steadfastly guards his master from all
impending dangers - with painful
consequences! \
Featuring sound effects and speech created
by LENNY HENRY, and superb cartoon style
animation.

INTERACTIVE

This month's cover feature is connected to
Comic Relief. Ocean has released the first ever
Red Nose Day computer game and you can see
it first here in ST Action. The game puts you in
the role of Ralph - a small dog who has to ke:
watch over his wandering master who has a
nasty habit of sleepwalking.

Following on from a series of games that have
always been criticised in the longevity depart-
ment, Dragon's Lair 111 offers incredible anima-
tion and startling background graphics. But the
question is: can it offer anything new in the
playability area or is It nothing more than a few
presses of the fire button?

The world has been subjected to a terrible fate.
The planet surface has been completely frozen
and the sun is now only a legend. You are one
of the few men who stil! believes the sun exists
and you are on a mission to find it. Untortunate-
ly, the Viking Union won't relinquish their
monopoly of the world without a fight.

As the Atari ST is one of the most
used computers in the record industry,
we though it would be a good idea to
meet the people behind the masks.
Altern8 have been responsible for
many chart-topping records and they
joined us in the pub for a couple of

off their masks or did they use straws?

The first Red Nose computer game has arrived for the STE. Join
Lenny Henry and the gang for some somnambulant silliness!

Comic Relief Red Nose

Ocean are hoping to pass
the word about the necessity
for involvement by people of
all ages. They are contribut-
ing a healthy £4.32 of all
copies sold to the cause as
well as organising various in-
store marketing promotions
and competitions. With an
incredible publicity campaign
underway, it gives everyone
the chance to do something
worthy with their loose
change.

To get back to the actual

game, the tie-in to Comic
Relief is continually illustrat-
ed throughout each of the six
levels. Graphic characterisa-
tions of various celebs
appear as obstructions or
objects of assistance.

These include the
Two Rons as nightclub
bouncers, Dame Edna
as a traffic warden and
many others. The sound
effects include the
sampled voice of Mr
Lenny henry who con-
tinually bombards your
eardrums with lots of smart
comic quotes and words of
encouragement.

As I've mentioned, the
game is set over six levels of

rescue him before he

to a crisp but you will not be
able to die.

Each game is started with
three attempts and losing all
three will end your game. A
small bar represents how
deep a sleep young Lee is
under at the present time.

Sustaining injuries will
cause him to wake up a little
and when he is fully awake,
an attempt will be lost.

Various special bonuses
can be collected to aid your
mission that include: Red

Nose (awards you an
extra life), Whoopee
Cushion (limited
invulnerability),

False Beard

(gives you a

hint), Novelty

a Ear Mutts

extra energy
by putting him

into a deeper
sleep), Dunce
Hat (fills out the
entire map) and
finally, a Custard
Pie (builds a temporary
bridge over any nearby

vtec.

Not every object will
appear on all the level
but some of them will
be duplicated whenever

they're necessary.

Y — one key to find Lee!

A detailed map screen
can be called up by pressing
a key on the keyboard. This
tells you the location of
yourself and Lee and also
gives you the chance to
pause the game and check
your surroundings.

Sections will only
appear as you gradually
progress through each
stage (unless you have
collected the Dunce Hat).

As well as the various
helpful items, you can also
find special red noses scat-
tered about the levels. When
collected, in no particular
order, these noses will spell
out COMIC in a panel at the
top of the screen. This allows
you to access the bonus
stage at the end of a level.

The bonus screens take
place in a level similar in
design to the main game
area. Lee doesn't appear here
and it’s a kind of wishful
thinking stage for Ralph.

Here he must collect 20
red balloons for an extra life
and also pick up different
objects and letters to spell
out hazards that he would
like to see Lee fall foul to.

It works sort of like this:
collect a picture of a ram and
it will appear in a box below.
Now pick up a + sign and
then look for a pair of
trousers.

They will appear next to
the other objects you have
just collected. Now add
another + sign and finally col-
lect a picture of a rhino.

You will get Ram+Pant+Rhino

It is for basically this rea-

appeal to wargamers no mat-

At its deepest level you can
be in command of around

range from basically anything
that was flown, driven or

just something missing for

they are pursuing the Nexus project so

well respected group and label.

If you have been using the guide from last month, you should have no ©

problems following this final part of the solution. Just follow the

instructions and you’re home free!

Walk into the castle and lis-
ten to the butler. He will start
a fight so you must knock
him out. Enter the corridor
directly north and locate the
drunken soldier, Speak kindly
to him and offer to get him
another drink. He will now
give you a mug. Go back to
the entrance where you beat

in it. Use the stein with the
spigot (the tap on the beer
barrel) to fill the mug. Now
use the mug on the open fire
and pick up the roast boar
when the steam has stopped.

Head back to the
entrance of the castle and
find the room with the
clothes in it. Pick up the ser-
vant's uniform and examine
the lock. Search the nearby
rooms and you should find a
room with a je firep!

you will need to use thi: er
on when you are tied togeth-
er with your father. Now
leave the room.

Tell the second guard that
you have authorisation to sell
leather jackets and offer him
one for 15 marks. Now go up
the stairs and you should
come to a room with a chest
in it. Open the chest and look
inside to find another 50
marks.

Give the painting you
found in Henry's house to
guard number three and go
st until you find another
room with a chest in it. Open
it to find a uniform. Examine
the uniform to find a small
key. Put on your Indywear
and go back to where you
found the servant's outfit. Us
e the small key on the pad-
lock and take the grey
guard’s uniform and wear it.

Continue walking around
until you come to a room with
a big desk and a large dog in
it. Throw the roast boar you

picked up from the kitchen to
the dog and pick up the gold
trophy from the top of the fil.
ing cabinet. Open the middie
drawer on the right and you
will find a piece of white
paper. Pick it up and leave
the room.

Change back into the
Indywear again and go back
down into the kitchen. Fill
the trophy with beer from the
keg, change back into the
guard's uniform and go
upstairs until you find Bit. (He
is the guard who stands in
the middle of a corridor and
doesn't move. He is also very
tough.) Give him the trophy
which he will empty and then
squash on his hi This
makes him very weak so one
punch will knock him out.

Examine the doors until
you find the room with a
large painting and a candle-
stick on a table. Examine the
candleabra and pick up the
silver key. Find the room with
a green wire hanging by the
door and pull it. This will set
off the alarm and result in
your capture. Vogel will now
appear and start to talk to

you. It doesn’t matter what
you say as long as you give
him the Grail Di:

the right and you will see a
motor cycle. Climb in and use
it.

On the way to Berlin, you
will be stopped at a check-
point. To get past, say that it
is out of the question and the
only papers you can find are
the marks. Give them to the
guard and he should let you
go through. When you reach
Berlin, Elsa will give you the
dairy back. When you com:
across Hitler, give him the
pass which he will sign for
you. Now head for the airport.

First thing you should do now
is save the game as things
start to get a little tricky
from here on.

Enter the temple and get
ready for the first of the three

tests. Look in the diary and
find the picture with the
large “X” in it. Position the
cursor in the same place on

the test of God.

Check the top of the
screen and see how they
have spelt the name of God.
It should be JEHOVA or
JEHOVU but check just in
case I'm mistaken.
